Flames

Life brings about many uncertainties when faced with a challenge that may cause you to lose all sense of hope. What do you do? Lie down and give up or do you stand up and find a way to make your life whole again?

Dee cruised on auto-pilot for many years enjoying life when all of the sudden, life as she knew it went up in flames. Everything she and her husband worked hard for was gone. No one to turn to for help after the ashes settled, it was only Dee and her husband, Gavin, to pick up the pieces of their lives and find a way to provide for their children.

This is a story of how life can change in an instant. Those who are strong in their faith with God are built to endure tragedies, trials, and tribulations; undergoing a lot before getting back on track. Then there are those who are not so strong and succumb to the many misfortunes that life can bring. They blame others for not helping them overcome their trials because they do not know how to pray to God and help themselves. Having faith in God in each step they took made them stronger for whatever came their way. Living life with eyes wide shut, but led by faith in God, helped the family rise out of the flames.
